There are different categories of death. Therefore cases that involve a death may be heard in criminal or civil court depending on the circumstances.

A case where a person died as a result of a car accident in which no one violated the law would be heard in civil court. A case in which someone purposely hit and killed someone with their car would be heard in criminal court.
